Instant Access to Group Properties MIS : owners can generate reports in an instant for their individual properties as well as information for all the properties as a group enabling them to make better and swifter business decisions. No more waiting around for individual properties reverting back to the owners with their individual reports and then having to compile them, all the required information is available on the cloud.

Better Revenue Management : Rate management and distribution for the group properties can be done centrally from a single point.
